After the duel between Luffy and Ussop, Ussop tells Luffy and his crew members that he is leaving the crew.
However, he decides to rejoin the crew but Zoro gets angry and speeches Luffy and everyone from Straw Hats Pirates that Luffy is their captain and they must learn how to respect their captain.

This scene is a reminder to not easily forgive those that have wronged you if it was really bad.

“We’re not little kids playing pirates”

I remember that line hit me like a ton of bricks. Sure the story is about a group of friends on a wild romp but up until that point, they’ve brushed up against death multiple times and have just declared war on the world government.

Zoro reminds everyone that what they’re doing is no joke. Their trust in each other has to be iron clad or they won’t survive.

[nzekkhi]

definitely proves himself worthy of being the first person to be recruited into straw hat pirates

[lyuklike]

You know when Zoro is right when Sanji is just listening and being quiet.

[julianthemann]

"If the first words coming from Ussop are a sincere apology, then we're all good." Later during Ussops apology Zoro and Luffy purposefully "don't hear anything" until Ussop apologizes. great little detail right there.

[wraithflaire]

This has got to be most important bit of dialogue Zoro ever said in one piece.

[megasean]

Whenever Luffy is absent or about to make a blunder move as a Captain, it’s Zoro that steps up and leads the team back on track.

Most badass line from zoro “we are not little kids playing pirate “ edit: didn’t expect this much likes thank you

[xPepe]

Zoro is the most fair out of all the straw hats. I love this scene because it shows that Zoro is a true vice captain and is not scared to make decisions. He definitely cares about usopp a lot but is not going to let him just come back like nothing happened. He is not a yes man rather a true friend

[edmondYJ]

This has to be such an underrated scene in the ENTIRE series.
Not the Power-ups, not the dynamics of the characters, or the evolving animations, but the fucking message Zoro delivers in the Water7-Arc.
Despite the goofiness of the crew, Zoro just spitting facts to the whole crew that they're not JUST pirates nabbing treasures, but they are a crew who takes care of one another.

[ItsSpecialHands]

Sanji and Robin clearly understood and agreed with Zoro, and whilst both of them also left the crew they did it to protect the crew from enemies they thought overwhelming. Sanji and Robin left to sacrifice themselves, Ussop left because he was being a selfish baby

For a long time, Zoros part in the crew was a bit unclear beyond "strong fighter with swords". He bickered with Sanji, got drunk, and lost his direction, but didn't really have a function on the ship until this arc.
But man, this arc established him as the first mate. The Captain's right hand. The pure one-two punch of Enies Lobby "he's our captain" and Thriller Bark "nothing happened" set his role on the ship in stone, and that was awesome to read :)

[hazzif]

One of the most memorable moments that comes to mind when I think of Zoro's loyalty to Luffy.

[shadowwylde]

I love how seriously Zoro takes being a member of the straw hats. It’s crazy how he went from “pirate hunter” to this. Those pirates are his family.

[keanuhughes]

Why every captain need a first commander!

[wherethetatosat]

It's this level of accountability and respect that elevates the Straw Hats from just a pirate crew to an actual family.

[shirogane]

Zoro speaking facts, he may not know which direction to go but his man management and loyalty is S tier

[RageSpell]

Zoro : If usopp cant treat him with respect when things are critical

Also Zoro : Grabs a handful of Luffy’s face while saying that ☠️☠️

[Ceady]

This is when Zoro gathered respect of all the world combined, not as a fighter or a pirate, but as a man.

[alpaydn]

put on airs from zoro, he's the best member in my opinion
